Featured FO: Rasta Neckwarmer by h82purl

i really enjoy discovering the beautiful finished pieces knit from my patterns. today i'm sharing Rose's (h82purl on Ravelry) Rasta Neckwarmer.

her version is knit using Malabrigo Rasta in Piedras (the same colorway as the piece from Book 3). isn't her photography great? she really captured the beautiful essence of the yarn.

Rasta Neckwarmer

My Rasta Neckwarmer design, featured in Malabrigo Book 3, has received a lot of attention from hungry knitters. This fact excites me greatly :)

Thought I'd share one that I whipped up for my friend Kasi to give as a Christmas present this year. These really do make such great gifts.

Interested in knitting this? Check out the Rasta Neckwarmer pattern details on Ravelry.
